ACEMAGIC has announced the launch of its new Tank Centre series, adding two mini PCs to its growing compact computing lineup. The new models, Tank Centre M1A PRO and Tank Centre M1A PRO+, are positioned as successors to the earlier TANK 03, bringing updated processors and improved performance while keeping the same industrial design approach.
The company has focused on addressing the demand for smaller systems that can handle workloads traditionally associated with full-size desktops. As processors become more efficient and cooling solutions improve, mini PCs are increasingly used for gaming, development, and professional tasks. ACEMAGIC has built its reputation around this segment by combining high-end components with compact enclosures.
The foundation of the Tank Centre series can be traced back to the TANK 03, which launched in October 2023. That system gained attention for offering configurations such as the Intel Core i9-12900H paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics in a small form factor. It also introduced a physical three-mode performance dial, allowing users to switch between Silent, Auto, and Performance modes to manage noise and power use.
The Tank Centre M1A PRO is aimed at gamers and developers. It is powered by the Intel Core i9-13900HK, providing improved single-core and multi-core performance for modern games, software development, and demanding productivity applications. ACEMAGIC has tailored the rear I/O layout to support multiple displays and high-speed peripherals commonly used in these environments.
The Tank Centre M1A PRO+ targets users working with AI-focused and advanced computing workloads. It features the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, which is designed to deliver higher efficiency and stronger AI acceleration. According to ACEMAGIC, this model is intended for AI engineers, researchers, and professionals who rely on intensive computational tasks. The I/O configuration differs from the M1A PRO to better suit these use cases.
Both models retain the visual identity of the TANK series, including customizable RGB lighting and the performance mode dial. Internally, ACEMAGIC has updated the cooling system with larger fans and multiple heat pipes to support sustained performance under load.
The Tank Centre series has officially launched with early-bird pricing set at $2,499 in the U.S. market and €2,299 in the EU market. ACEMAGIC has stated that additional details on regional availability and future updates will be shared in the coming weeks.
